Tell me how you really feel 😅 They also own Visual Studio Code, control VSCode, and effectively control the VSCodium soft fork.

    This is why you use Emacs, Kate, Neovim and so on. Never understood how anyone could use a software as confusing as VSCode.

    This is why I use Zed as an alternative with the added upside that Zed runs about 500x better than VSCode

    What do you mean about VSCodium? Obviously it's just a differently compiled version of Microsoft's text editor, but what does Microsoft have to do with it, otherwise?

    You dont need hardware verifications with vscode, nor an account, it works with a vpn, u can disable copilot.

  • Any recommendations on a good general use IDE? I've enjoyed Geany a bit here and there myself but honestly I'm just using vim for most things these days. CLI is just so quick and efficient for most use cases, but I still hold out hope for something different.

    I keep Zed and, ideally Lapce, on my system and use them where possible. VsCode is my backup.
